Question

An unknown gas (k=1.4, c v= 0.716 kJ/kg.K, c_p=1 kJ/kg.K, R = 0287 kJ/kg K) is trapped in a 1 m^3 piston-cylinder device at 1000 KPa and 1000 K. It then undergoes an isothermal (constant-temp) process in which 696 kJ of boundary work is delivered (positive work transfer). Determine the heat transfer. (Use the PG model).

Answer 1

So heat transfer is 696 kJ

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

K = 1.4

`C_(v)` = 0.716 kJ/kg

`C_(p)` = 1 kJ/kg

R = 0.287 kJ/kg

V = 1
`m^(3)`

P = 1000 kPa

T = 1000 K

Work delivered, δW = 696 kJ

It is isothermal process, so the initial and final temperature are same, that is T₁ = T₂ and the internal energy is zero (dU =0)

Therefore from 1st law of thermodynamcis,

δQ = dU + δW

= 0 + 696

= 696 kJ

So heat transfer is 696 kJ
